My current quilt project has taken some time to complete, but the Flea Market Fancy Quilt top is now finished (and will remain without borders).

The quilt top measures 60.5 inches x 60.5 inches

With 100 paper pieced blocks each measuring 6.5 inches x 6.5 inches.

200 paper pieced units,

800 pieces of fabric,

and many happy hours of stitching.

Once all the blocks were complete the quilt top came together without too much difficulty. Although all of the corners of each block (the edges of the printed fabrics) were off-grain, I had taken steps to ensure that all of the edges of the white fabric were perfectly on-grain. Most seams aligned without too much fudging ...

This is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I LOVE all of those fabrics together! I am so sad that I missed out on them....I did score about 14 DS prints today at a JOanns an hour away. Of course none are Flea Market-but I do love them!

Does "wonderful" says everything that I want to say ? :D...I looove stars, and these are happy, and slim and so attractive that I might give another chance to paper piecing ;). The top is awesome! I have the same problem with the quilting when I like so much a top...afraid that I might ruin it....so , I understand you so well . Congratulations for this awesome piece !Teodora.
